This kit has been in my model car stash the longest. I began building in November of 1999, using kits that I had recieved as gifts in the mid 1990s- roughly 94 and 95- and I built them one at a time. OK, so I only had two of them. Then, I went to the local Wal-Mart and bought a Revell 48 Ford Woody and 66 Pontiac GTO- they became, in rapid succession- my builds #3 and 4. Then, we went back to Wal-Mart and filled a shopping cart with kits. Well, it felt like filling it but in reality, it was really only 7 kits, that I can recall. This is the only one that remains unbuilt from that time. (doing the woodgrain seemed above my skill set at the time- honestly, I think it still is some 11 years later!) I did, however, put a very lousy blue brush paint job on it back around 2001 or so.



After that cart fill, I soon discovered my local hobby shop, where I am still a regular customer to this day, although mostly for paints these days. I don't plan to ever finish this one. I want that one unbuilt kit to always be #1. (Believe it or not, I do plan to build all the kits I have! A standard build only takes me roughly 2 days if I'm on a roll, most of the time I have trouble getting into it though!) I sold the ones I knew I would absolutely never build.
